Am trying to find a way of putting a dot above a number to show that it is
recurring, if it is possible?

Much easier than using an Overstrike equation field is to go to Insert
Symbol (as shown at the beginning of Suzanne's link), in the dropdown
at the upper right go to "Combining Diacritics," and you'll find a
"dot over" character that will sit on top of the letter that precedes
it. (You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to it if you're going to
use it a lot.) You'll also find several widths of overbars, and lots
of other accents for combinations that don't happen to be included in
specific fonts or in Unicode.
